“Life is full of challenges. We all have them. Art has helped me through my own deep valleys.”

Everyone says that art is subjective, what I find beautiful might not be the same as someone else but the one thing that everyone can agree on is that art can have an extremely soothing and calming effect.
That is the reason why art therapy has become more and more popular in the past decade. But what is art therapy?
According to technical terms, art therapy is a form of expressive therapy that uses the creative process of making art to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The creative process involved in expressing one’s self artistically can help people to resolve issues as well as develop and manage their behaviours and feelings, reduce stress, and improve self-esteem and awareness.

So, in layman terms, therapist involves one or the other form of art to help stimulate our emotions and provide with an outlet other than words.
We can all agree that since the pandemic hit in 2020, the need to put our mental health first became a necessity which is why taking part in sessions like MensXP Experience’s Sense of Fulfilment: With Creative Expression of Mind is extremely important even in 2021.
